Wagyu Rib Steak is a premium cut of beef that comes from the rib section of the cow. This steak is known for its tender texture and rich, buttery flavor, making it a highly sought-after cut of meat.

Here’s how you can cook a perfect Wagyu Rib Steak:

Ingredients:

• 1 Wagyu Rib Steak (1 1/2 to 2 inches thick)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves

Instructions:

1. Take the steak out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to an hour. This will allow the steak to cook more evenly.

2. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

3. Season the steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

4. In an oven-safe pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat until hot.

5. Add the steak to the pan and sear it for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until it develops a golden brown crust.

6. Remove the steak from the pan and set it aside. Add the butter, garlic, and thyme to the pan and stir until the butter is melted and the garlic is fragrant.

7. Return the steak to the pan and spoon the butter mixture over the steak, making sure to coat it evenly.

8. Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and cook for 4 to 5 minutes for a rare steak, 6 to 7 minutes for a medium-rare steak, or 8 to 9 minutes for a medium steak.

9. Remove the steak from the oven and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute and the steak to reach its optimal tenderness.

For the best results, it’s recommended to cook Wagyu Rib Steak to a temperature of 130°F to 135°F (54°C to 57°C) for medium-rare, or 140°F to 145°F (60°C to 63°C) for medium.

Wagyu Rib Steak is best paired with simple sides such as roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a green salad. Avoid overpowering the flavor of the steak with heavy sauces or seasonings, as the natural flavor of the Wagyu beef should be the star of the dish.
